Aren't they fabulous?? I made a trip to Toyrifix a couple days ago and bought me Take Off.

I love this little bunny! He is soooo adorable! And I have seen such cute cards made with this stamp.

So this is the card I made using these colors.

I colored him with copics and paper pieced the balloon. The panel he is attached to I used a cloud die-namic from MFT and memento desert sand ink to sponge around the top of the cloud. The map idea came from Leigh O'Brien. She's so talented! I folded the map into little pleats and then sewed it in place. My layout is this week's SC347.

It also works for Jeanie's TKT and I used the SC346 for my layout.
I'm not a Harry Potter fan...I know shocker, right? But, my brother Phil is a huge Harry Potter fan and asked me to make him some cards. So, I used Har Repotter from Bugaboo Stamps. Isn't his name hilarious?

Repairo is Get Well according to my brother. The image is DIGI and colored with copics.

I used a stamp from the Own Your Story die-namic and stamp set on Stella Rose DP from MME.

I stamped it using vintage photo distress ink that had been stamped off. I added a photo corner and a button.

For the left panel I used the open scallop edge die-namic and added a folded paper edge that I zigzag stitched in place. The sentiment was borrowed from the 4 leaf clover PI. And the little heart is from the notched tag die-namic and stamp set. I used a little distress ink on my circle because the vanilla seemed too bright with the DP I used.

This is the inside. I used memento desert sand to stamp her on the inside and added another photo corner. This sketch was lots of fun!

My DH is taking me out to Bob Evans to celebrate as soon as we get our foster baby to visitation with her mom and grandma. Whoo hoo! Love going out to breakfast!!

My 13 year old daughter, Hannah, asked me last night at 9pm if I could make her a Thank You note for her band teacher. She was in our counties honor band this summer and they played at the Medina County Fair. Her band teacher came to hear her play (and Hannah was the only student from our district).

I had to tweek the sketch a little...I didn't want the ribbon hiding my PI.

I stamped My Little Firecracker (PI) but washed off the sparkler part so it looks like the band wand the teacher uses and drew in some music notes. I paper pieced her dress and the rest is colored with copics. I zigzag stitched this panel in place.

The sentiment was cut out with circle nesties. I took the sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Music but, typed it on the computer so it would fit in my circle. And then added a mini library clip.

The scallop was done in Riding Hood Red CS using the Simply Scallop medium die-namic. I use this one all the time because it works so well on my cards. The scalloped dottie ribbon is from SU.

I stitched all the layers and added some flower bitty buttons (SU) at the top.

The inside says "a note of appreciation" but, I forgot to take a pic of the inside. OOPS!

And it went to school with Hannah this morning.

Thanks for stopping by and God Bless....

Stamps: My Little Firecracker PI (sentiment by MFT)

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Days of Summer Simple Stories, Life of the Party Lime Twist by MME, Riding hood red, chocolate chip, and white

I stamped her with memento tuxedo black and colors her with copic markers and paper pieced her dress with a scrap of October Afternoon paper. I made the daisies using the Notched-Tag die-namic and 1/4" circle punch and some scrap old olive paper for the stems. You can see the close-up below.

I zigzag stitched the layers and added icicle stickles to her hair pretty.

And a couple bitty buttons to the top right corner.

I made this tag using the Fishtail Banner die-namic. I used vintage photo distress ink and a SU music note wheel. Then, I sponged around the edges and stamped "I am sorry" from the

Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy stamp set. I did a double scallop using the Simply Scallopmedium die-namic and the ribbon is Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon from SU.
